I have no excitement for returning to that world. Tying into the economics of EVE might be the one thing that hampers this game significantly. The market is almost impenetrable for the newbie and, for me, the idea that something I buy can be gone forever makes me feel unlikely to purchase anything - why buy something awesome when some turd or accidental suicide can wipe it out?

It all makes sense from a microtransations strategy perspective, not much from a game sense.

The only way I see this being awesome for you is if you are aligned with an EVE corp and can have someone funding the platoon.

I was really up for this, the idea of getting band of EG mercs together and becoming guns for hire... the execution didn't match up to the dream.
